Exothermic animals get their heat from the environment around them so they don't need to eat as much as we do to generate heat energy. They also don't tend to move around as much as us because that would mean they lose heat and energy, so they don't need to eat so much to produce energy to move. If you think of huge Pyothons they barely move and barely eat and yet they can last a long periods of time without food. There's probably other reasons but they're the ones I can think of off the top of my head

What are the advantages and disadvantages of exothermic and endothermic reactions?

The big disadvantage in being exothermic is that moving, digesting and reproducing generaly use more energy and take longer to start up.

Do plants require less energy than animals because they are much smaller than most animals?

Plants and animals have different metabolic processes, and plants use photosynthesis to convert sunlight into energy. While plants may be smaller than some animals, their energy needs depend more on factors like growth rate, environmental conditions, and reproductive strategies rather than just size.

Why do crows do not eat carrots?

Crows typically do not eat carrots because they are omnivorous scavengers that prefer a diet rich in protein and fats, such as insects, small animals, and human food scraps. Carrots are not a natural part of their diet, and their hard texture may make them less appealing. Additionally, crows are highly intelligent and often choose food sources that require less effort to obtain.
